STEM week. Today we we are learning about the states of water. We used pipettes, water, salt and sugar to try and melt the solid ice and rescue our sea creatures 🧊🐠🐬🐙

Some snaps from our trip to Ma Gemme Greenhouse 🍓

Making foil boats for STEM week investigating floating and sinking. We were testing how many passengers our boats could hold before it failed. Children made many designs to find out which was most successful and why ⛵️

This week we went to Ma Gemme Greenhouse. We had lots of fun picking strawberries, making bracelets and arranging some beautiful flowers 🌸 🍓

@BISTYear1J went to the lake on Friday afternoon on a scavenger hunt. We searched for trees, branches, insects, spider webs and many more interesting things. #outdoorlearning #exploringnature

Today we were learning about weight. He we used balance scales and cubes to measure the weight of different classroom items ⚖️

We had great fun today completing our blindfolded taste testing as part of our IPC topic. We used senses to smell, touch and guess the item before tasting. 😋

This week in literacy we have been learning all about rhyming words 📚
